Grief
Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I walk alongside individuals facing the heartbreak of loss—whether it’s a death, the end of a relationship, a life transition, or a future you thought you’d have. In a gentle, steady space, we tend to the parts of you that feel shattered, numb, guilty, or overwhelmed, and we allow grief to move at its own pace, you can slowly integrate your loss, stay connected to what (or who) you love, and begin to feel moments of meaning and aliveness again.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Emotional experiences of sadness or anger and other behavioral changes can arise as the result of a loss. People can get a better understanding of what they are going through and help prevent and reduce prolonged undesirable effects in their lives through counseling when grief/bereavement has affected them. Even though it is normal to feel sad after a loss, when the sadness prolongs and starts affecting one's ability to return to the previous level of daily functioning, it is advisable to seek help from trained professionals to prevent worsening of symptoms, such as developing depression.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief doesn't follow a timeline or a rulebook. Whether you've lost a person, a relationship, a season of life, or a version of yourself, the pain is real and it deserves to be honored. We provide a calm, unhurried space where you can process your loss at your own pace, without pressure to move on before you're ready. Healing is possible and you don't have to walk it alone.

Grief
Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief can follow death, but it can also accompany the loss of relationships, communities, identities, health, imagined futures, places, opportunities, or a sense of safety and certainty about the world.
I approach grief as something to make space for rather than something that needs to follow a particular timeline. Therapy can offer room for sadness, anger, confusion, relief, meaning-making, memory, and the complicated emotions that often coexist with loss.
We can also make space for forms of grief that are sometimes difficult to name or find support around, including ecological and climate grief, political grief, collective loss, and grief connected to changes in community or the world around us.

Nora Katz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Founder and Clinical Director, Inner Compass Psychotherapy
Some losses never got the room they needed. I make space for grief that is old, complicated, or hard to explain, and we let it move at its own pace.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Loss and Grief are experienced with death and also many other incidents. There is a non-linear path to healing and techniques to help in the process. History shows the human condition as experiencing tragedy and finding a way to survive. Therapy is part of that way.
